KW-Type Nonlinear Contractions and Their Best Proximity Points

Abstract

In this paper, we present two main results about best proximity points for multivalued mappings. First, taking into account Klim and Wardowski’s approach in fixed-point theory, we obtain a new result for multivalued mappings which includes the main theorem of Kamran [Kamranm, T. (2009). Mizoguchi–Takahashi’s type fixed point theorem. Comput. Math. Appl. 57(3):507–511]. Second, combining this approach with cyclic contraction, we give a general best proximity point result, and so we obtain many well-known fixed-point theorems such as Mizoguchi–Takahashi, Feng–Liu and Klim–Wardowski [Mizoguchi, N., Takahashi, W. (1989). Fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings on complete metric spaces. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 141(1):177–188; Feng, Y., Liu, S. (2006). Fixed point theorems for multi-valued contractive mappings and multi-valued Caristi type mappings. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 317(1):103–112; Klim, D., Wardowski, D. (2007). Fixed point theorems for set-valued contractions in complete metric spaces. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 334(1):132–139]. Also, we support our results by providing some nontrivial, illustrative and comparative examples.
